Read the excerpt about secondhand smoke from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s website.Eliminating smoking in indoor spaces fully protects nonsmokers from exposure to secondhand smoke (SHS). Half of the US population is covered by state or local smokefree laws that do not allow indoor smoking in worksites and public places, including restaurants and bars. Most people have adopted smokefree rules in their home. Still, exposure in the home remains a significant problem.- The home is the primary source of SHS exposure for children.- About 80 million (1 in 4) Americans live in multiunit housing and can be exposed to unwanted SHS in their homes. SHS from units or common areas where smoking occurs can seep into smokefree units.- Many who live in public housing are especially affected by SHS, including children, the elderly, and people with disabilities.

Read the paragraph about the judicial branch of the US government from whitehouse.gov.Federal judges can only be removed through impeachment by the House of Representatives and conviction in the Senate. Judges and justices serve no fixed term — they serve until their death, retirement, or conviction by the Senate. By design, this insulates them from the temporary passions of the public, and allows them to apply the law with only justice in mind, and not electoral or political concerns.Generally, Congress determines the jurisdiction of the federal courts. In some cases, however — such as in the example of a dispute between two or more U.S. states — the Constitution grants the Supreme Court original jurisdiction, an authority that cannot be stripped by Congress.
